It appears new drugs to help increase glucagon are helping reduce kidney issues.

You can get your body to naturally make glucagon by fasting, which forces your pancreas to make glucagon, which makes your blood sugar naturally go up to levels your body needs, via the liver.

Glucagon is the opposing hormone to insulin.

Glucagon is the opposing hormone to insulin.

How does that affect diabetics taking insuline?

I’ve started doing 72-hour fasts at the start of every month.

A word of caution, be careful about how you break a long fast, Refeeding Syndrome can cause issues, if you try to eat too much after a long-term fast, take it slow, and especially avoid carbs to break a fast.

This is what Trulicity and Ozempic work on. They are GLP-1 agonists. Glucagon Like Proteins that fool you into not being hungry and drastically slows the food traveling thru your stomach and small intestines. You lose weight like crazy when you stop eating but the gut cramps from the Trulicity will haunt you for months. No fun!
